I got my bike on the trail today!! RA!! It was awesome!! My VelociRaptors have great traction! I was taking lines I would have never been able to take with my old tires! My shifters work great! It was so nice! Plus some of the members of the club have been doing tons of work and added two miles of great singletrack, it's fast and twisty.

Thanks DG!

You bought some MotoRaptors awhile back didn't you? How are they?

I've had good luck with them. Only one tiny flat. But I splurged the other day and bought the Kenda Kharissma UST's that I've been wanting. They are great in the mud. I think I'll put the Motoraptors on my other MTB when I get it off the trainer. Then, the day after I put the Kenda's on, I got the two new Python UST's from Hutchinson. I've got tires comin' out the wazzou! :D

I did a little urban riding too! I went and jumped some steps and rode off a few walls. Very fun!

I really like the tubeless tires. Had some problems with the Hutchinson ripping on sharp rocks, but they replaced them for free! I think they know they had a problem though. MTB reviewers had probs with them too. Haven't heard anything negative about the Kenda's though. So far they have held up well. No problems at all.

Zip locks will keep the dirt out and the freshness in.
